TOURISM, RECREATION AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT
New Directions in Tourism Analysis
Series Editor: Dimitri Ioannides, E-TOUR, Mid Sweden University, Sweden
Although tourism is becoming increasingly popular as both a taught subject and an area for empirical investigation, the theoretical underpinnings of many approaches have tended to be eclectic and somewhat underdeveloped. However, recent developments indicate that the field of tourism studies is beginning to develop in a more theoretically informed manner, but this has not yet been matched by current publications.
The aim of this series is to fill this gap with high quality monographs or edited collections that seek to develop tourism analysis at both theoretical and substantive levels using approaches which are broadly derived from allied social science disciplines such as Sociology, Social Anthropology, Human and Social Geography, and Cultural Studies. As tourism studies covers a wide range of activities and sub fields, certain areas such as Hospitality Management and Business, which are already well provided for, would be excluded. The series will therefore fill a gap in the current overall pattern of publication.
Suggested themes to be covered by the series, either singly or in combination, include consumption; cultural change; development; gender; globalisation; political economy; social theory; sustainability.
